Overview
Entech has been developing new technology to improve canister monitoring for over three decades, and our latest announcement may be the greatest single advancement in canister analysis to date. The SkyCan™ Autosampler represents a giant leap forward in bringing today’s canister laboratory inline with other GCMS laboratories, by placing canister samples above the GCMS, maximally close to the sample preconcentrator prior to analysis. The SkyCan Autosampler improves system integrity by removing the sample-to-sample variability present in multi-inlet rotary stream select valve autosamplers. Stream select autosamplers are further compromised by the long residence times of sampling in each line, making it difficult to achieve low and consistent background levels after exposure to higher concentration samples. With the lowering of allowable background levels (e.g. EPA Methods TO-15A and 327), autosamplers that rely on rotary valves may no longer be capable of consistently achieving the extremely low blank levels required to provide sample analysis at parts per trillion detection limits. Imagine the challenge of demonstrating blank levels for each individual line in multi-inlet autosamplers, every single day. The SkyCan simplifies this by utilizing a single inlet that requires only one blank check. This single-inlet design, coupled with vacuum cleaning of the inlet between samples, streamlines your analysis process and minimizes the risk of contamination.
With the SkyCan you enjoy all of the advantages of a robotic system: a single inlet, short sample exposure times, vacuum cleaning between samples, reliable blank levels, connection to cans only at the time of sampling, exceptional resistance to contamination, and no risk of cross contamination caused by leaky stream select valve rotors, among other advantages. We urge you to free ourselves from the burden of cluttered lab spaces, reclaim your valuable bench space, improve shipping and can cleaning efficiency—all with just one strategy… Take to the Sky!
Features
No bench or floor space required for samples. All are placed above the GCMS, the preconcentrator, and the data system.
Available in a 40” rail (SK40) or a 75” rail (SK75), based on system throughput requirements.
Fully automated rail system with magnetic sensing of tray and Canister Analysis platform positions
Trays are available to handle all Entech canister sizes 2.5L and smaller, as well as 500cc and 1L Bottle-Vacs
Connects to the 7200A or 7200CTS Autosampler #1 inlet, leaving AS #2 and AS #3 available for the 7016D 6L canister autosamplers.
Analyze up to 36 of Entech’s new 2.5L ambient sampling canisters (15 on the SK40 SkyCan™), providing ample volume to achieve today’s stringent detection limits, while also reducing shipping and storage costs.
Heated transfer line length to preconcentrator only 2' long to reduce surface interactions, improving run to run consistency.
Inlet transfer line is vacuum cleaned immediately after exposure to the sample.
SkyScreen and SkyLoop options use a completely different flow path to perform high throughput screening or quantitative loop injection with zero chance of preconcentrator contamination.
Fully integrated into Entech's latest preconcentrator control software
